HTML DOM Event Object, Learn HTML DOM Event Object

The Event object represents the state of an event, such as the element in which the event occurred, the state of the keyboard keys, the location of the mouse, and the state of the mouse buttons.

The event object is available only during an event - that is, you can use it in event handlers but not in other code.

In VBScript, you must access the event object through the window object.
